USS Ensenada (YAG-23)
The ship's magnificent German AEG main electrical switchboard, whose panels were made of solid white marble, photographed on 5 November 1942. Navy inspectors reported that it would be easily damaged by near miss shock and that a smaller asbestos ebony board could be built using the existing fittings to accomplish the same purpose in one half of the space. The Navy lost no time in making the change.
